Clear icicle is required as fuel for amarr pos's and ships. It takes the same ammount of time as dark glitter, also required for fuel, and takes up the same ammount of space, block per block. HOWEVER, clear icile costs HALF the price of dark glitter; for this reason and the fact clear icicle isnt in as high of demand as dark glitter, NO ONE wants to mine clear icicle.

I say cut the ice harvester time in half when mining clear icicle OR influence the market somehow so that we can get ahold of fuel. dark glitter is used by more stuff so it should be the price it is and so should clear icicle be the price IT is BUT, it should take half the time to mine clear icicle. The prices they currently are will keep the game balanced.

Either that, or make dark glitter cheaper.

Clear icicle produces isotopes, Dark Glitter doesn't. They're mined predominantly for different types of fuel.

The market prices aren't set by CCP but are a based on supply and demand.

If you don't like the price, mine the ice.

The game is working as intended in this instance.
